More This and That

CUBA

Fidel Castro has resigned. That does not mean that life in Cuba is going to get better any time soon. It’s going to be business as usual under his brother, Raul Castro. The people of Cuba still are the losers. Raul is just as much of a tyrant as his despicable brother. Cuba has been an unhappy place for over 50 years, AND MORE OF THE SAME is certain top come down the pike. Fidel Castro is going to go down in history as one of the most horrible and despicable leaders that ever existed, and he is going to pay the price soon, when he leaves this world and meets his Maker. Only God can forgive one of the most cruel and oppressive despots in the history of the world. He is one of the biggest communist mouths, showing of his leadership in that ugly military garb, his harangues against the United States while his own people were being murdered, tortured, beaten, and imprisoned. Thanks to him and his cronies the Cuban economy is among the worst in the world. Even Russia dumped that situation there. Over more than 1,000,000 Cubans have fled Cuba. Castro’s legacy is one of extreme cruelty, a nasty regime, imprisonment, murder, squelching of freedoms, and severe national poverty. He lookslike death warmed over. His appearance matches the looks of his soul-deplorable and pitiful. What a horrible life-review awaits him when he enters his eternity. And Hell will welcome one of the most awful human beings in the history of the world. Only God can forgive him. Oh! That’s right! A communist doesn´t believe in God. Therefore, no forgiveness is possible. Anyway, when the time comes, good riddance to him, one of the worst humans, one of men’s most horrendous enemies. Talk about man being man’s worst enemy, he absolutely is, and soon was.

GAY MARRIAGES

How can anyone with a correct moral compass that they follow be happy about gay marriages that fly in their faces because gay marriages make a mockery out of heterosexual marriages? Those who clap their hands and smile at gay marriages tell something crucial about their thinking, that their moral compass is defective and leading them in the wrong direction and doing the same in regards to other moral matters. Acceptance of the gay person, yes. Acceptance of gay behavior, no. Gay marriages are a from of gay behaviour, and, therefore, not at all acceptable. They are a travesty and a perversion, and most likely gravely sinful. Marriage is a sacrament instituted by God to give grace in the lives of the couples. Therefore, the opportunity is not to be squandered, taken lightly, or most of all perverted. Gays need to get a new moral compass, and the sooner the better.

UNITED STATES AND MEXICO

The lawmakers (politicians) in Washington are a bunch of nincompoops. They authorize and waste billions of dollars every month in Iraq and cannot come up with a workable and useful solution to the immigrant problem facing the United States. They cannot design a workable program to put immigrants (mostly from México) to work in the much needed agricultural fields and production in the United States. They are here simply because they want to work and the work is there for them to do.

At one time (1940’s-1975) the United States had the Bracero Work Program. The Mexican workers were here legally. They did great and much needed work. They did the work that Americans were unable to do because the men were in the armed forces by the millions. It was a very organized and workable program. It was very successful. So, it’s a no brainer. A new Bracero program, or an equivalent, should be formed A.S.A.P. That would greatly help with the illegal problem, put men to work, and keep agricultural production running smoothly. And maybe a fence would not be needed and the fence money would be used to pay for and support the program. However, it might be too late for the nincompoops in Washington to come to their senses and do something very worthwhile for a change.

OUR SINS REVISITED

Recently an article was read and a discussion was heard on a radio broadcast about Near-Death-Experiences (N.D.E.). They are now accepted by some medical practitioners, clergy, and people in general. The experiences related were positive mostly and negative in some cases, depending on the kind of life the individuals lived. But what was the same for each individual was the LIFE REVIEW. They learned that NOTHING was lost in time. The review was like a video in very fast motion, a video of every thought, word, and deed. Nothing was omitted. It was a never-to-be-forgotten experience. When the people returned to resume their lives, everyone changed their lives for the better, especially the lives for those who had a horrible or terrifying experience. One lady was being pulled down by horrifying demon type entities. If she would not have fought extremely hard, she would have gone down to a very certain black and terrifying eternity. The sooner we realize that nothing is lost in time, that we will see and hear everything said, thought, or done on earth will be revisited in life-review later, and that we will have to accept the consequences, the sooner we´ll decide to live the best and most sinless life possible. Actually, we should not need a N.D.E. to do that. The bottom line is the experiences of others have helped us immensely to realize what need to do to improve our lives while we have the time to do so.

COUNTER-CULTURE THINKING (AND RESULTS)

Most of the counter-culture thinking, which of course, leads to their actions is something to behold. Much of their thinking is defective and warped and leads to defective and warped actions and, therefore, leads to defective and warped results. It starts with the fact they think they can go through life making up their own rules as they go along, that everything is relative to the situation at hand. That king of thinking hurts them and others. They have a dislike for established and set rules. They just do not get it; that just because something contrary can be done doesn’t mean that you should go ahead and do it.

The first something that can be done is to leave God out of everyday life (which C-C people did but that definitely is not good thinking. The C-C people did just that when they threw out the old and brought in the (thinking). It was the beginning of their other warped and defective thinking, and for the most part doomed their legacy from the very start. Some other things that can be done but shouldn’t are:

Politeness- rudeness has replaced politeness, especially in stores, in automobiles, and in everyday associations.

The C-C people are driving their autos, they make up their own rules-ignore speed limits, cut quickly in front of someone without warning, instigate road-rage, give the middle-finger salute. And try to force you off the road.

The C-C people greatly emphasize money and sex. They seem to be the new gods in their life.

Teen-age and younger sex can be done, but it shouldn’t be done for very good reasons-pregnancy, abortions, venereal disease. To date (3-12-08) at least 3.2 million teen-age girls have at least one of the several venereal diseases.

Teen and young adults can murder each other, but they shouldn’t. Yet, that is exactly what they are doing.

Greed- is an absolute no-no. But the C-C people make it a way of life- high rents, high home costs, high food and gas prices, high utility prices, high taxes and many of them. The middle class is rapidly vanishing leaving only the upper and lower classes.

The list goes on and on and includes certainly a cold and irreligious society, common immorality, a very deficient education system, lack of jobs (hello, China), ignorant parenting, little or no spiritual development, OVEER-CROWDED PRISIONS, a large homeless population, out of-reach health care cost, etc., etc. A large group of countries hate the United States now, the very country that does so much to help other countries.

Demonic possession and the need for exorcisms have increased 800% since 1970, because much of the new C-C thinking uses the instruments of Satan. All of this is a direct outcome of their warped thinking and defective moral compasses.

So, many of the activities that the C-C people have been in charge of have ended in dismal failures. Over the past 44+ years their reign has been abominable and full of the upmost laziness. And when the have decided to act, it was in the wrong direction.

Right now, in the year 2008, the C-C people have given us a pathetic and abysmal present and more of the same coming in the future, especially for all their grandchildren. Many of the C-C people will not be able to retire – to expensive. A savings of $ 225,000 is needed just for heath care during their retirement.

It is appropriate to add here that a decent number of the C-C age group did not throw out the old in favor of the new, but they were badly out-numbered, sorry to say, and they became the victims along with the others. They deserve much credit. God is pleased with them for sure.

Unless the new 18 year-olds see and realize what 62 year-olds have given us and change things bring back God, faith, good morals, honesty, much less greed, much less emphasis on money and sex, less abortions, and the value and dignity of human life without celebrating themselves too much, America will continue to sail down the river of no return. There are many of these new 18 year-olds who see and realize. But the group needs to expend greatly. It’s nearly too late. It will take a generation of change to get the thinking and moral compasses headed in another and very changed and beneficial Godly direction. May God be with and immensely help the new generation. So many futures depend on that. Godspeed!

POLITICAL BAD BEHAVIOR

Several months ago in the United States a senator from a northern state was involved in an alleged mensroom incident which was spun and denied, but the evidence seemed to indicate otherwise. Some time ago a Washington politician was involved in using campaign funds for personal use. On Monday, March 17, 2008, the governor of New York has to resign because of his scandalous behavior and involvement in a prostitution ring. There is wiretap evidence that this has been going on for a long period of time. The governor is a 48 year-old male a second generation, counter-culture person, a first generation person of the original counter-culture generation, and he is in a heap of trouble. Along with his self-inflicted troubles, he brought disgrace to the position of governor, to the state of New York, and humiliation and suffering to his wife and daughters. When a person´s moral compass is greatly defective or, for the most part, non-existant, the end result is far reaching. When prominent leaders-politicians, teachers and clergy who are involved in child sexual abuse, greed and dishonesty in high places, and other tawdry actions become well-known, they bring the stench of the C-C movement directly into the glaring light of day. And the spotlight is directly shinning on the C-C people, on the United States, and the whole world. And that should not be any surprise. And along with the glaring light of day and the spotlight, there is the loss of faith people have in those elected to prominent positions or put in trusted positions. The stench is very strong and very disturbing to say the least, but it is not very surprising.
